This invention relates to a glass-molding machine for molding cap' liners for the covers of fruit-j ars, as will be hereinafter more fully machine whereby a series of molds will be:

described and particularly pointed. out in the claims. p The object of this invention is to provide a alternately brought into position first toreceive the supply of molten glass, next'to be moved in osition under the forming-die or plunger oi? the machine, ,thence h gradually moved to permit the newly-forms linerto be cooled before reaching the position to be discharged or dumped, and thence moved into o'siti'on for the operator or gatherer to supp y molten glass to the -mold to again mold the same into the required form of liner also, to provide a, shearin means whereby the requisite amount of mo ten glass to make the required form of liner is cllp ed or severed from the glass collected byt e-gatherer and adhering to the end ofthe gatherers rod,

thereby preventing a superfluous amount of' molten lass to be ap lied to or inserted into the mo d and avoi ing the production of liners of uneven or ununiform thickness. 1 I attain these objects by means of the machine illustrated in the accompan in drawings, in whic similar characters 0 reilerence desige nate'lilge partsthroughout the several views.

The framework of this machine is composed of a table 1, trued or faced on its upper surface and supported! on legs 2,'and the standards 3, secured on said table. 011 the top ends of the standards 3 are formed the shaft-bearings 4, wherein the crank-shaft 5 is journaledt On the crank-shaft 5 is formed integral therewith the crank 6,-which is situated between the bearings'4. Secured, as by a key or other suitable fastening means, on

.vs ha t the prolonged end of the 5 is the sprocket-wheel 7,'whereby said shaft is re-.

-volved by a suitable sprocket-chain connectother power-driven shaft. v y

A cross-head 8 has. its bearin s 9 adapted to fit and to slide inthe ways 10, ornied in the ed to. a suitable driving-sprocket on a line; or

standards'3, and said cross-head is retained insaid ,ways by means of the outer guide bars or ca s 11, which latter are securely boltedto t e' faces of the uideways of said standards; The cross-hea 8 is moved up wardly or downwardly or reciprocated in its guideways 10 by a suitable adjustablecon- 'necting -rod composed. of the upper and lower stub ends12 and 13, the stems 14 and15of' which arecon'nec ted by a right and left hand turnbuckle 16, which latter is locked in position by suitable locking-nuts 17. Y A. hexagonal collar 18 is formed integral on the upper stem 14, and the same is provided for the TOO purpose of applying a spanner or wrench thereto to prevent a rotation of said stem when adjusting the rod. The stem '14 is threaded at both its ends, one end of which is screwed into the turnbuckle and the opposite or top e'nd into the stub end 12., which latter end is locked to said stub end by a suitable locking-nut 19. The top or crank-' pin stub end 12 is fitted on and connects the crank-pin of the crank 6, and the bottom stub end 13 is fitted on and connects the wrist-pin 21 of the cross-head 8,

The die-carrying ,plate 22 is circular in form and is-yieldingly connected to the crosshead 8, and the same is provided with vertically-eirtending parallel guide-bars 23, wherebysaid die-head is suspended from said crosshead, and said guide-bars are adapted to slide a limited extent in suitable bearings or bores formed in said cross-head 8. Surrounding said guide-bars andsituated between the bottom end of the cross-head 8 and the top face of the die-carrying plate 22 are the coil-springs 24 ,which permlt the die-caryielding substance.

ryi'ng plate 22 to yield when the latter or the die-head carried y it contacts with an un- .The die-head or rammer 25 is provided With a stem 26, which is threaded to be screwed into the central bore of the die-carrying late 22 or is otherwise connected to said p ate to be removable therefrom, and the said die or rammer 25 is provided with a hexagonal'collar 27, whereby the dieor rammer 25- ma be removed by means of a suitable wrencii or spanner. It is obvious that when the die or rammer 25'contacts with an unyielding substance, as a cooled or set piece of lass, said die or rammer carrying plate 22, owm to its being yieldingly connected, as described, to the cross-head 8, will ield or recede from the obstruction, there y preventing a rupture or break in the machinery.

A dependin .boss 28 is situated on the bottom side of t e cross-head 8 directly and cen- 'trally over the die or plunger 25, and the same is provided to operate as a stop to limit the receding or backward movement of said die from the material under treatment.

The bottom side of the table 1 is provided with an inte ral dependingboss 29, and on the top side 0 said table 1,

rectly above and concentrically with the boss 29, is a boss 30,

which has its face rooved to receive the ballbearings 3 1 The osses 29 and 30 are bored to receive the sleeve 32, which sleeve is j ournaled therein, and the u per projecting end of said sleeve is threads to receive the collar-nut 33, whereby the said sleeve is maintained in lace in its journal-bearing. A further object of the said retaining or collar nut 33 is to serve the purpose of a clamping means 1, are formed the ratchet-teeth 34, which are ada ted to be engaged by the spring-pawl 35, 'ngedly secured on the end of the sliding connecting-rod 36.

. The pawl 35 is maintained in engagement with the ratchet-teeth 34 of the sleeve 32 by a retaining-pawl s ring 37. The opposite or crank end of the s iding connecting-rod 36 is connected to the crank-pin 38, secured on the crank-disk 39, which latter is keyed or otherwise secured on the bottom end of the cam-shaft 40 to turn therewith, and said rod 36 is supported by and adapted to slide in the pivotal guide-sleeve 41, which is pivotall secured to the bottom side of the table 1 y a suitable bolt 42.

The vertically-extending cam-shaft 40 is journaled at its bottom end in a suitable bore formed in the table 1 and at or near its top end in a suitablebearing 43,- formed integral on the adjacent standard 3, and the said shaft derives its motion from and by means of the bevel-gear 44, secured at the upper end thereof to turn therewith above said bearin 43, and said bevel-gear 44 is ada ted to mes with the bevel-gear 45, secure on the crank-shaft 5 to turn therewith.

The mold-carrying spider is composed of the center or boss portion 46, from which extend a seriesof radial arms 47, which latter are spaced at equal distances apart. Integral with and situated at the ends of the arms 47 are the upwardly or vertically extending lugs 48, and near the root ends thereof, adjacent to the central or boss portion 46 of said spider, are also situated similar lugs 49.

The glass-receiving molds or formers 50 rest upon the top trued surface of the table 1, and each is pivoted out of center or eccentrically at its opposite sides on the opposing pins 51 and 52, (see Fig. 4,) which pins are carried by the hooked ends 53 of the arms 54. The pivotal holes in the glass-receiving molds or formers 50 are preferably made oblong and extend in a vertical direction, so that the said mold or former 50 will be free to play in a vertical direction on its pivotal pins 51 and 52 while being moved or slid in their-circular paths concentrically around their common center, which is the axis of the journalsleeve 32. v

The mold-carrying or hooked ends of the arms 54 are formed integral with the latter, and said arms are preferably rectangular in cross-section'and loosely fit in the vertical guide-slots 55, formed in the lugs 48 and 49 to freely lay upwardly and downwardly therein. he arms 54 are 'removably retained in position in their guide-slots by suitable retaining-pins 56.

It will be observed that the molds are moved in a circular path or revolved to be brought in rotation directly and centrally under the die or rammer 25 at the proper time to receive the latter by means of the pawl ieed mechanism" previously described,

whereby the mold-carrying. spider is intermittently rotated.

Secured by suitable bolts to the bottom of the table 1 centrally under the vertical center lme of the die orrammer is the supporting sleeve 57. of the yielding mold-supporting ta-' ble 63, hereinafter described, in the bore'of whichis situated the yielding table-supportmg c01l.SpI iI1g'58, whlch spring is su ported at its bottom end by the spring-p ate 59,

' wheel 61, whereby the-screw 60, which is which loosely fits within the bore of said sleeve 57 and is adjustably sup orted therein by means of the spring-platejustingscrew 60, which latteris provided with a handscrewed ,in the boss'62of the sleeve, is .adjusted to raise or lower the'screw-plate 59,

' The yieldinQmold-supporting table 63 is segmental in form and is adapted to loosely fit 1n the segmental table-opening formed in the table-1 and situated directly under the die orrammer 25 and in the top or foot ortion 64 of the sleeve 57, and the said tab e is provided with a depending cylindrical stem. I 65, which is adapted to be received by the top-end ofthe coll-spring 5.8, and thus when an'undue pressure is brought to'bear upon.

the table and the mold supported'by it said table 63 will yield to release the mechanism from undue or over stress. I I A stationary 'shearing-knife66 is secured on'the top of the table 1 in position thereonto extend over that moldsituated next adj acent to that position to next pass under the pressing die or rammer 25-that is to say, over that mold situated on the machine where the opera: toror gatherer supplies therequisite amount of molten glass to the mold. On the face of the table 1v is also mounted the oscillating-shear vor 'knife-blade67, which is pivoted to the face of said table byits pivotal bolt 68.v Integral withthe shear 67 is the cam' arm 69,

which latter armis adapted to be en aged by.

rectly op' osite the vertical center line of the path of t v e die or rammer 25 is the dumpingaperture 72, which is. provided for the'purpose of permitting the free rotation or down- 2 ward swing of'the molds 50 on their pivotal pins 51v and 52 to permit each of the molds when they reach this, point to discharge the molded glass liner, which at this portion 0 the path of themold is cooled.

charged from its mold. E It is clear that a single arm 47, extendin from a fixed center to revolve around sa1 fixed center, would be operative; but bythe use of such a single arm considerable-time would be; lost, since one ,rnold. only would 'make. the'com lete circle, It is therefore obvious that a plurality offniolds are-necessary to accomplis the-Work in' a practical and economical manner, and the .number or se[ ries of molds employed in one machine is limited by theivelocity of rotation or the period of rest of-the molds suflicient for the gatherer to su ply the material thereto. ,The num her 0 molds therefore required 1n a machine is limited only tothe capacity of the attend- M ant or gatherer. to supply the molds with the requisite amount of molten"glass; I Having thus fully described this my lnvention, what I claim as new and useful, and desire to cover by.
